"Gezichten op het platteland buiten Kalkar" (1758), by Paulus van Liender (1731-1797) is a pair of detailed, black and white engravings depicting the cityscape and countryside surrounding Kalkar, a town in Germany. The top engraving showcases a view from outside the city gates with a windmill in the distance. The bottom engraving depicts the town of Kalkar itself, viewed from the Monterberg, a hill overlooking the area. These engravings exemplify the meticulous detail and topographical accuracy often seen in 18th century Dutch landscape art.
